Ulysses Klaue is the son of Nazi war criminal Colonel Fritz Klaue of the Blitzkrieg Squad led by Baron Strucker. He was sent to Wakanda to learn their secrets by Adolf Hitler. After World War II he moved back to Belgium and later anglicized his name to "Klaw," and raised his son with tales of Wakanda.
